Journalism History earlier this year joined the ranks of academic publications distributed by Taylor & Francis’ highly professional production team.

Journalism History has another web home.

Following the decision last year by the division membership to adopt Journalism History as the division’s journal, a new section of the division website has been created to provide a front door to the journal.

The editorial staff and corresponding editors are listed on the Journalism History page as well.

To get to the Journalism History page, follow the link in the navigation at the top of the division website.
